Some adverse weather is on the way up from the south so we decided to divert to Beveridge Reef as we would be exposed to the northwesterly winds at Niue. We should be there by morning and stay until Thursday morning when the front will have moved though. It has been a calm passage so far with light winds and too much motoring. At the moment we are sailing nicely at 8 knots but the wind comes and goes. The fishing has been excellent with one Mahi-Mahi the first day and three large ones yesterday. So today the lines have not been deployed as the freezer is pretty full. Pictures when we have internet next.

Our first catamaran was a Manta 42. She was built in St Petersburg and we went to pick her up in November 2000.
We spent every summer cruising the Beautiful Bahamas islands (700) from the busy Nassau harbor (We never stay more than 2 or 3 days)to the more remote islands like the crooked islands or the ragged islands (also known as the Jumentos and the friendliest of all , Long Island. We never got tired of the turquoise waters , the kindness of the Bahamians and all the fun we had with all the friends we made over the years.
